Question juridique clé
Whether a former shareholder may invoke Art. 696(3) OR to obtain annual reports after selling his shares.
Solution extraite
No. The informational right under Art. 696(3) OR is a personal membership right that generally ends with the sale of the shares; no protectable interest was shown.
Motifs extraits
The purpose of the right is to allow a shareholder to assess the company and exercise control rights. Once share ownership ends, that protective purpose falls away and, absent a specific remaining interest, the former shareholder lacks standing.
